SINGAPORE - Law and Home Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam on Friday (Nov 9) said the allegations made in an online article against Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and the Government were "absurd", and that the police will take action against all involved. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has filed a police report against the author of a Nov 5 States Times Review article, which MAS said made statements that were false and malicious, and impugned its integrity as a financial regulator. The "baseless and defamatory" article alleged that Malaysia had signed several unfair agreements with Singapore, in exchange for Singapore banks' assistance in laundering 1Malaysia Development Berhad's (1MDB) funds, MAS said in a statement on Friday. Speaking to reporters at the Treasury building about the matter, Mr Shanmugam said: "When you make allegations of corruption, money laundering against the Prime Minister, Government of Singapore that we are complicit in this and so on, we'll take this … [Read more...] about Police to take action against all involved in fake news article: Shanmugam

While there are many random pieces of information and "helpful" tips being passed around about air conditioning and keeping the home cool, some of these might just be myths. Whether a person is planning to get an air conditioner for their home or they already own one, it is important to know fact from fiction in order to save energy and reduce electricity bills. Myth 1: The bigger the aircon, the better. Air conditioners are designed to cool the air throughout the home at a certain rate. A large air conditioner will cool a small room at the same rate that it will cool a bigger space, thus consuming more energy. An air conditioner should be the right size to fit a home. It might need to run a bit longer, but will use less electricity. Myth 2: An air conditioner's filter will only need to be cleaned at least once a year. Air conditioners need to "breathe." Dirty air filters hinder the flow of air, forcing air conditioners to work harder. Regular cleaning at least every two to three … [Read more...] about News

By Eli Rosenberg The Washington Post Thu., March 22, 2018 A former Fox News anchor has filed a lawsuit against Bill O’Reilly, claiming that the former star Fox host defamed her when he defended himself against sexual harassment accusations. Laurie Dhue, who worked for the cable news network from 2000 to 2008, was one of five women that the New York Times reported to have received settlements related to Bill O’Reilly’s actions and behaviour at the company, in an April 2017 article. In the lawsuit, which she filed in federal district court in Manhattan, Dhue points to a series of public statements O’Reilly made after the Times article ran, saying the accusations were false and made maliciously.

RIGOBERTO D. TIGLAO RAPPLER, Inc., massively funded by foreign entities, is now practically a fake corporation, peddling fake news about itself. All but two of its seven board members in 2016 have abandoned it, with one, Glenda Gloria, on an academic fellowship in the US until September this year. That leaves it without a functioning board, and therefore according to our corporate laws, no longer a genuine corporation that can conduct business in the country as a “juridical person.” Only its “chairman” Manny Ayala—who is also a director of the Energy Development Corp., owned by the Lopez clan that had been supporters of President Aquino—and its editor Maria Ressa remain to claim as its board members. The Corporation Code requires corporations to have a minimum five members in its board of directors. In Rappler’s “About Us” section, it lists only its “2014-2016 Board of Directors.” Aside from Ayala, Ressa, and Gloria, … [Read more...] about Rappler is now a fake firm peddling fake news
